I was about to ask where in Africa you are, but I was smitten with a mental google, which points to South Africa. It is summer there, right? prime time for those two fellas to show up in front of the cat?
I live in a rural part of South Africa's North West province. (We named our property "East" just to cram all the compass directions into our address.) Yes, it is now late summer, but early summer (September) is more snake season. We catch a lot of Mozambican spitting cobras, maybe 10-20 each year, and a black mamba about every three years. Scariest encounter so far was an African rock python, not because that is particularly dangerous, just because it was very, very large, and unexpected. I
thought I was running into the garage to scold a
cat for knocking a jar off the shelf.
All the snakes we catch are taken to the local snake park for health checks and eventual release, except the (rare) non-venomous ones, which go back into the garden.
